VOL. NO. 8.
PIERZ, riORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, MARCH, 8, 1917.
No. 38
C. B. Buekman Dies.
;
A telegram reached the city
this noon announcing the death
of C. B. Buekman at Battle
Creek, Mich., to which place he
had gone a short time ago in
an attempt to receive some relief from Bright's disease
from which he had been suffering for some time. Although
death was not entirely unexpected the news will cause profound regret in the city and
county.
The 42 years since Mr. Buck-
man located in the vicinity of
Little Palls have been employed in activities and a varied
service which rendered him
one of the foremost citizens of
Minnesota. He was always a
leader in public affairs, as he
was successful in business, and
he had represented his district
in congress, served a number
of years in the state legislature,
both in the house and the senate, and for several years he
was deputy United States marshal.
Clarence Bennet Buekman
was born at Doylestown, Pa.,
April 1, 1851, a son of William
and Jannie (Bennet) Buck-
man, substantial farming people of Pennsylvania. The Buck-
man family came to America
early in the seventeeth century,
and the original ancestor made
the voyage on the sailing ship
Welcome.
When Mr. Buekman came to
Little Palls in 1872 he took up
a homestead in what is now
Buekman town, named for him.
He proved up his claim and his
enterprise as a farmer was the
foundation of his commercial
success.
He continued to buy land until at one time he owned 1,400
acres, all under cultivation. Between 1873 and 1906 practically all his time was devoted to
the management of his agricultural interests. During that
time he established on his farm
the village of Buekman, now a
prosperous little village.
In 1873 Mr. Buekman held
his first public office. In that
year he was elected justice of
the peace in Buekman. In
1881 he was sent to the state
legislature, serving two years
in the lower house, and in 1883
he became state senator and
was in that body for eight successive years and was later reelected for another four-year
term. Mr. Buekman represented the Sixth district in the
fifty-eighth and fifty-ninth
congresses and while in Washington served as a member of
several important committees.
Last year he was a candidate
for the Republican nomination
for congress and was defeated
at the primaries by Harold
Knutson of St. Cloud,- the present congressman-elect.
Since 1880 he has lived in
the city of Little Palls. For 20
years he was engaged in the
lumber business and built a
sawmill at Sauk Rapids. He
gave Little rPaUs the Hotel
Buckmatrr^-ievTci-j['!s only first
class hotel. He built the Motor Inn, the largest garage in
the city, 80x150 feet in size. He
was also one of the principals
in the Little Falls Packing
company.
il<' was one of the most
prominent men in this section
-ft Minnesota and has done
liuch in the way of public serv-
_.e and his appointment to the
Juice of deputy United States
"larshal was one based upon
his singular fitness for public
position.

leading towards the location of
the factory here, but it was not
until this week that the final
arrangements were completed.

Joseph F. Watsic, residing on

B'-nnettville, north of Mille
|Lacs lake was frozen to death
last Friday night. He had been
j to Ironton on Friday with a
load of beef and when returning
he lost his way on one of the
numerous roads that lead away
from Bay lake. His team, too,
had nev r been over the road
before an 1 was of no assistance
to him in locating the right
road.
The unfortunate man was
found Saturday morning by the
Deerwood mail carrier serving
the Bay Lake route, and his
horses had become disengaged
from the sleigh and had made
their way to a farm house.
Mr. Watsic was born in Bohemia in 1860 and leaves a
widow and a stepdaughter to
mourn his loss.

VOL. NO. 8.
PIERZ, riORRISON COUNTY, MINNESOTA, MARCH, 8, 1917.
No. 38
C. B. Buekman Dies.
;
A telegram reached the city
this noon announcing the death
of C. B. Buekman at Battle
Creek, Mich., to which place he
had gone a short time ago in
an attempt to receive some relief from Bright's disease
from which he had been suffering for some time. Although
death was not entirely unexpected the news will cause profound regret in the city and
county.
The 42 years since Mr. Buck-
man located in the vicinity of
Little Palls have been employed in activities and a varied
service which rendered him
one of the foremost citizens of
Minnesota. He was always a
leader in public affairs, as he
was successful in business, and
he had represented his district
in congress, served a number
of years in the state legislature,
both in the house and the senate, and for several years he
was deputy United States marshal.
Clarence Bennet Buekman
was born at Doylestown, Pa.,
April 1, 1851, a son of William
and Jannie (Bennet) Buck-
man, substantial farming people of Pennsylvania. The Buck-
man family came to America
early in the seventeeth century,
and the original ancestor made
the voyage on the sailing ship
Welcome.
When Mr. Buekman came to
Little Palls in 1872 he took up
a homestead in what is now
Buekman town, named for him.
He proved up his claim and his
enterprise as a farmer was the
foundation of his commercial
success.
He continued to buy land until at one time he owned 1,400
acres, all under cultivation. Between 1873 and 1906 practically all his time was devoted to
the management of his agricultural interests. During that
time he established on his farm
the village of Buekman, now a
prosperous little village.
In 1873 Mr. Buekman held
his first public office. In that
year he was elected justice of
the peace in Buekman. In
1881 he was sent to the state
legislature, serving two years
in the lower house, and in 1883
he became state senator and
was in that body for eight successive years and was later reelected for another four-year
term. Mr. Buekman represented the Sixth district in the
fifty-eighth and fifty-ninth
congresses and while in Washington served as a member of
several important committees.
Last year he was a candidate
for the Republican nomination
for congress and was defeated
at the primaries by Harold
Knutson of St. Cloud,- the present congressman-elect.
Since 1880 he has lived in
the city of Little Palls. For 20
years he was engaged in the
lumber business and built a
sawmill at Sauk Rapids. He
gave Little rPaUs the Hotel
Buckmatrr^-ievTci-j['!s only first
class hotel. He built the Motor Inn, the largest garage in
the city, 80x150 feet in size. He
was also one of the principals
in the Little Falls Packing
company.
